A former Ducks and NHL employee is suing the team and league for discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation that she says occurred during her time working for the defendants from 2022 to 2025. According to the complaint, Harris worked for the Ducks' IT department from July 2022 to December 2024. It was at that point that Harris reported "the sexual harassment and discrimination she'd experienced" to human resources. "HR did nothing to meaningfully address the harassment or discipline the harassers," the complaint states, and "the harassment and discrimination continued." The lawsuit also accuses the Ducks, OCSE and the NHL of working "to blacklist Harris from any career in professional sports."

In the Palisades, anger continues to mount against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, the city’s Fire Department and state agencies. In five years, or maybe 10, Rogers looks forward to all the little things that make the Palisades the Palisades.
